Scientists accidentally create mutant enzyme that eats plastic bottles
It looks like we might have a viable solution to the plastic problem sooner than we thought. While studying the enzyme that was found to eat plastic, scientists have managed to speed it up and improve it!

Mutants. It’s the start of the walking dead. Next, they’ll “accidentally” create something that eats brains.

Antonius van Breugel Whatever can go wrong will go wrong many times, because science requires peer review and replication of results.
Then we weaponize it.

They need to get plastic bottles out if the ocean. I thought bottles were used to make carpets.

They create problems
And accidentally sollutions
Instead why they can’t make anyone to not use plastics and other harmful products…

I don’t think anyone has said that this would be the only solution to the problem of plastics. It does look promising, but it should be part of a mixture of different solutions to tackle the very real problem of plastic pollution.

cool enzyme!

There are also fungi and bacterium that consume polyesters and ethalines. Just like there are fungi and bacterium to consume radiation: which could be used to clean up the toxic radiation being spilled into the Pacific ocean from the Fukashima nuclear reactor catastrophe; which, by the way, is still on-going.

I am looking forward to becoming knowlegable and being a better giver than receiver to also a solution, yay. I’m doing it n liken it! :)

That nuclear melt down in Japan(?) that swam in currents to our West coast is one less fish I eat. I look for Alaskan and Maine for the best and as always the East coast for soft shell crab since it is close by.
